Yep, I just confirmed this by viewing the source code, then visiting http://news.ycombinator.com/a?fnid=oO6e74w9Mq http://news.ycombinator.com/a?fnid=oO6e74w9Mq manually. It upvoted the "bandsintown" article. A misbehaved web accelerator could upvote every single article on the front page, and every comment in each comment page that they visit.
